Chapter 722 - 719: Just Can’t Die

Chapter 722: Chapter 719: Just Can’t Die

This was the first time Jiang Jichen had used the Rune Battle Armor.

The Rune Battle Armor from the Exotic Realm was mystical. Its Defense Power was determined by the user’s Cultivation, talent, bloodline, and other factors.

Moreover, it could be used repeatedly and would not be destroyed.

Of course, this was contingent on its vessel—the Divine Mysterious Ancient Book—also remaining intact.

Each summoning had a cooldown period!

For Jiang Jichen’s Divine Mysterious Ancient Book, the current cooldown was one day.

When the Rune Battle Armor sustained an attack that exceeded its defensive capacity, its durability would be consumed.

Once its durability was fully depleted, it would automatically transform into a mystical light of runes and return to the Divine Mysterious Ancient Book.

To be only slightly injured after taking nearly ten attacks was beyond Jiang Jichen’s expectations. He hadn’t imagined the Rune Battle Armor could be so remarkable.

After all, without the Rune Battle Armor, even with the formidable physique of his Holy Body First Realm, attacks from elite Seventh Realm of Holy Dao Cultivators would have undoubtedly left him severely wounded, his Dao Body fractured.

However, Jiang Jichen soon discovered that after taking a few hits, the Rune Battle Armor’s durability was dropping.

He could sense its durability with his Divine Thought.

Only ninety percent of its durability remained.

Those last few hits had already reduced its durability by ten percent.

Jiang Jichen calculated quickly. He could withstand at least a hundred more attacks from these Seventh Realm of Holy Dao Cultivators without issue.

With his calculations complete, Jiang Jichen threw all caution to the wind. He locked onto another Seventh Realm of Holy Dao Cultivator and charged forward to kill.

Killing one person meant taking nearly ten attacks.

But as the number of his opponents dwindled, the number of attacks he sustained naturally decreased as well.

SPLAT!

Another Seventh Realm of Holy Dao Cultivator was brutally obliterated by Jiang Jichen.

Naturally, Jiang Jichen took more hits in the process, and the Rune Battle Armor’s durability dropped to just over eighty percent.

By now, terror had taken root in the hearts of the remaining cultivators.

Anyone targeted by Jiang Jichen’s Divine Thought was guaranteed to die!

Therefore, no one dared to approach him directly, fearing they would be the next to be sacrificed.

But once targeted by his Divine Thought, escape was impossible.

Jiang Jichen’s figure flickered relentlessly, and with each flash, another Holy Dao Cultivator was slaughtered.

POP!

At last, the Rune Battle Armor’s durability ran out. It vanished, transforming into mystical runes that returned to the Divine Mysterious Ancient Book.

By this point, Jiang Jichen had slaughtered fifteen elite Seventh Realm of Holy Dao Cultivators.

All around, only eight Seventh Realm of Holy Dao Cultivators remained, Wan Shan among them.

"Are you happier now? The fewer people there are, the more treasures you get to split, right?"

Jiang Jichen asked lightly.

The remaining men, Wan Shan included, were filled with terror.

If the treasures he carried weren’t so fatally alluring, they likely would have already turned and fled for their lives.

Sweat beaded on Wan Shan’s brow as he spoke. "Everyone, stay calm! We’ve worn Jiang Jichen down this far. We can’t give up now!"

"His Sacred Body and Spiritual Cultivation Power are exhausted! What other tricks can he possibly have left?"

"Jiang Jichen, prepare to die!"

Wan Shan roared and was the first to charge.

Until now, he hadn’t dared to face Jiang Jichen directly, afraid of being targeted and hunted to the death.

But now that his opponent’s Rune Battle Armor was gone, he was no longer a threat.

Wan Shan was the strongest of the Seventh Realm of Holy Dao Cultivators, a Mid-Tier Genius Level with astonishing combat power.

He could see that Jiang Jichen had exhausted all his tricks and power. He was running on fumes.

That’s why he finally took the initiative to attack.

Previously, he had let the others serve as cannon fodder while he hid in the back.

Jiang Jichen watched as Wan Shan led the other seven Seventh Realm of Holy Dao Cultivators in a charge, his own expression unchanging.

’But Wan Shan is right. My tricks are spent, and my strength is gone. How can I possibly fight?’

He gave a grim smile. "You’re overthinking things. I still have my life to wager. And when it comes to fighting to the death... not one of you pieces of trash can outlast me."

As he spoke, Jiang Jichen charged forward to meet them.

BOOM!

He clashed head-on with Wan Shan. The impact sent Jiang Jichen flying, spitting blood from the significant injury he sustained.

Wan Shan, however, was only pushed back a dozen meters.

"Haha! Just as I thought, you’re powerless! How can you possibly fight me?"

"Die, Jiang Jichen!"

Sensing Jiang Jichen’s weakness, Wan Shan burst into laughter.

The next moment, however, his laughter died in his throat.

Because Jiang Jichen had used the recoil from their clash to launch himself toward another Holy Dao Cultivator.

At the cost of taking a palm strike, Jiang Jichen brutally smashed the man’s head. When the Spirit Infant tried to flee, he casually crushed it in his hand.

Of course, Jiang Jichen’s Dao Body sustained further damage, and his injuries grew more severe.

But the Demon Phoenix Technique within him was already operating at its absolute limit, and the Undying Scripture was desperately drawing upon his Holy Body Undying Power.

Meanwhile, his Ancient Source Character Scripture was frantically refining Holy-grade Rejuvenation Pills and Healing Holy Pills.

SPLAT!

SPLAT!

When Jiang Jichen finally turned to face Wan Shan, dragging his battered Dao Body and drenched in blood, the ground around them was littered with corpses.

All the Holy Dao Cultivators had been slaughtered, cut down by Jiang Jichen’s brutal, life-for-a-life fighting style.

The last time he’d had to fight so desperately was in the Exquisite Treasure Tower.

He had faced many dangers over the years, but none could compare to this moment.

He was still clinging to his last breath, all thanks to the Demon Phoenix Technique!

In this moment, he even caught a glimpse of the Demon Phoenix Technique’s Fourth Reincarnation.

Blood trickled from the corner of Jiang Jichen’s eye. He spat out a mouthful of bloody froth and spoke with a chilling tone, "Now there’s only one left. You must be even happier, right? After all, if you kill me, all the treasures will be yours."

"Too bad for you... I just won’t die!"

"Believe it or not, in the end, you’re the one who’s going to die!"

Jiang Jichen’s voice was raw and grating.

Wan Shan’s body began to tremble involuntarily.

He had never imagined that Jiang Jichen could have killed every single Seventh Realm of Holy Dao Cultivator.

Every time it looked like he was about to die, he would somehow cling to life by a thread and kill his opponent instead.

Until finally, he was the only one left facing Jiang Jichen.

"Jiang Jichen, do you really think you’re immortal?"

"This is the final blow! Let’s see how you withstand this!"

Wan Shan stepped forward, an ancient Jade Talisman appearing in his hand.

The Jade Talisman shattered, releasing a Secret Light that he condensed in his palm.

"Ancient Dao of Ultimate Killing—Annihilate Fate!"

Wan Shan poured endless power into the Secret Light of the Ultimate Kill in his palm.

The next moment, the Secret Light of the Ultimate Kill transformed into a massive Flaming Blade that slashed down at Jiang Jichen.

’Fire?’

But Jiang Jichen just gave a strange smile.

He didn’t move an inch, allowing the Flaming Blade to descend upon him.

’But how could this Flaming Blade possibly compare to the flames of the Demon Phoenix?’

Suddenly, raging Demon Flames erupted from Jiang Jichen’s body.
